Thanks
91.2 to be exact. Honestly, it is so freakin smooth on the draw it doesn't feel like it at all. Sweetest bow I have ever laid hands on..

Great video. I have that same bow at the same draw weight the only difference is I have a 29" draw. What kind of numbers are you getting out of her. Mine is 91#'s 453gr full metal jacket arrow at 324fps which gives almost 106lbs of kinetic energy or .65lbs a second of momentum. By the way I thought you said you could only get 20 yards:noidea:? In the last part of your video your neighbors roof looked like a good place to practice those longer elevated shots, just put a treestand on his chimminey:haha::toothless:
Just in case it was missed that last part was a joke.

I am getting some weight tubes put in my arrows today and having some minor adjustments done on it. I will hopefully get you some numbers tonight.

No D-loop on this one Lucki. That is why too, I don't trust it at all. Just pulling straight from the string. Probably a little safer. ;)

Mother of God, 91pds, that's gotta sux on the letdown if you don't take the shot, eh?
At that kind of yardage it doesn't justify the kinetic energy, so go and film a 50yd shoot so we can see the arrow flight.
Shot a 500 sheet/reem of copy paper at 40 yds, will the arrow go all the way thru, if so you can surely break a cow' shoulder like cracker jacks!

Wow, that is a smokin fast big boy bow. 1 thing to consider, I'd play with your DL, and try it at 1/2 an inch less. You are leaning back in your stance to compensate, and with the string slap you mentioned, you may have too long a draw. Hard to tell for sure, but I would play with it.

Thanks for the advice. I will see what adjustments I can make.

Wow 91lbs... I am shooting 85lbs right now and thought that was alot... I use to shoot 110 with that pse safari bow about 10-12 years ago but have not shot that much in a while.... Anymore I think 80lb is to much but can still pull it all day long.....
Post those numbers up when u get them, I am wanting to see what it can do....

OK. I went in today and we put weight tubes into my Gold Tip 7595's and they are exactly at 500 grains now. I ran 3 arrows through the chrono and they all 3 hit 302. This is with a 28 inch draw.
He tried to test the draw weight and he "swore" it hit 100lbs. I really have a hard time believing that. He had a hard time just trying to pull the bow down on the scale to test it. But I will get the exact weight as soon as I find someone around here with an accurate scale. The birth certificate said 91.4lbs 450 grain at 324. But we dropped it down to 86lbs to shoot the 7595's. I decided to put the weight tubes in it to see what it would do. So we cranked it back up all the way and then backed it off a quarter turn. (I hope this is what is recommended.) That is when he said it hit 100lbs. Could this even be possible?

I would double check the weight on a different scale. I don't see how you could get 8.5 more pounds out of 90# limbs. I actually wanted 100# limbs but I was told the riser needed to be beefed up so they only offer 90's. You are correct about cranking all the way down and then backing out a 1/4 turn. 500gr moving at over 300fps is smoking for a 28" draw. I would be more than happy with those numbers.
Let us know what weight you get on a different scale.

Dude, I have got to say you pull that darn thing easy. I can't pull 40lbs that good.
